Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the revised local land-use plan complied with Art. 15 LAT and the duty to balance interests concretely when enlarging building zones on agricultural land.
Decisione estratta
The cantonal court relied too much on the cantonal master plan and failed to perform a sufficiently concrete and supra-municipal balancing of interests; the zoning revision was therefore unlawful.
Motivazione estratta
Compliance with the master plan does not replace an examination under federal spatial-planning law. The need for building land must be assessed concretely, including demographic, economic and supra-municipal factors; the record did not show such an assessment, especially given the consumption of valuable agricultural land and existing building-zone reserves.
